Rotary Tube Pro

Benefits

The Hypertherm difference

Brought to you by the cutting experts with 50 years of experience and more than 160 cutting technology-related patents to their name.

Breakthrough technologies

Rotary Tube Pro is the only rotary software that provides full support for Hypertherm’s SureC.ut™ technologies, including True Hole® and bevel cut charts based on True Bevel™ technology.

Ease of use

Import files from 3D CAD or use the parametric input to easily create tubes and branches with no 3D CAD experience required.

Lower costs

Decrease material utilization with automatic pipe nesting.

Easy part creation and development

• Create round or rectangular tube parts with parametric input
• Standard tube sizes and schedule pipe parameters (including wall thickness, corner radius, etc.) are provided for common materials, or input your own custom sizes
• The 3D model of the tube is updated in real time as you work, and can be freely moved and rotated
• A 2D layout view is also available
• Branches can be added to define interiors using standard or custom tube sizes
• Set branch intersection type: front outer, front inner, pass-through
• New main tubes can be created from existing branches
• Cutouts can be added to define interiors, including layout arrays in rectangular and polar orientations
• Select cutouts from a list of commonly used parametric shapes
• Support for a variety of end cuts
• Straight
• Miter
• Pipe intersection
• Edit lead-in/out position and properties
• Control cut direction and cut sequencing on a part-by-part basis

Detailed reporting

• Report containing detailed job information and 3D part graphics
• Export report directly to PDF

Automatic nesting

• True shape or rectangular

CAD/CAM import and conversion

• Import DXF files to use as cutouts, allowing interiors of virtually any shape
• Import DXF text for cutting
• STEP file import for 3D CAD

Choice of output

• Advanced post-processor, for perpendicular cutting, with NC output
• Scribe support
• DXF output

Modules

Rotary Bevel Interface

For users operating a cutting machine equipped with a programmable bevel head, the Rotary Bevel Interface provides a seamless solution for creating the desired NC output. 

It generates a 3D model with true intersecting branch angles and end cuts. The module allows for weld prep cuts to be added and supports output of multi-axis, machine-specific, and bevel code. (Requires one Rotary Bevel Machine Post Processor.)
